Money to be Made.

1t is said that dull times are not
kno~n by the agents for the great
publishing house of George Stinson
u Co., of Portland, Maine. The rea.
son of this exceptional success is found
in the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly apprecia.
ted and at prices that all can afford.
At present, we understand, their
agents are doing wonderfully we'll on
several new lines. They need many
more agents in all parts of the conn.
try. Those who need profitable work
should apply at once. Women do as
we'll as men. Experience is not nee.
essary, for Messrs. Stinson u Go. un-
dertake to show all who are willing to
work, not hard but earnestly, the path
to large success. 1t should be remem.
bered that an agent can do hand
some business without being away
from home over night. Another adj
vantage-it costs nothing to give the
business trial, and an agent can de-
vote all his time, or only his spare
moments to it. Stinson Il Go. guar
antee grand success to all who engage
and follow simple and plain directions
that they give. We have not space
to explain all here, hut full particu
lars will he sent free to those who adj
dress the firm; their full address i:

We were met In getting off the trair
at Wichita today with the sight of grand
procession. This being labor day and was
observed by the Wichita labor element by
a grand turn out and In addition the Wichi
ia people turned out in the parade. The
streets were so crowded we could hardly
edge our way through.
At the head of the procession rode A. J.
Bonsall, grand marshal of the day, With
his staff of five assistants. Behind
these came platoon of police, the
Knights of Pythias uniform band, play
ing stirring march, the stars and stripes
and the labor banner, after which came
the uniforms, thirty-seven in all, each with
the banner and insignia of the lodge lead
ing the men.
The procession went to Riverside park
and after a speech from Samuel Croker
they discussed the picnic edibles and then
more talk and amusements. 1t was big
day for labor

About half past eight o'clock last night
Samuel Gamble, living about eight miles
west of this city, came into town bearing
the sad news that the house of Martin Letter
was burned down and his little one-year old
child was burned to death. Mr. Letter was
away, leaving Mrs. Letter alone with their
two little children, one little girl three
years old, and the other the baby, one year
old In the afternoon Mrs. Letter left the
children in the house and went out to the
garden not far away. Shortly after the
little girl came running out of the house
and after some little time her cries attracted
the attention of the mother, who by this
time saw smoke and flames shooting from
the windows and door, The mother tried
hard to rescue her babe but the old box
house was like finder and was soon COM
pletely wrapped in flames and all her efforts
were In vain. The little three year old
girl, who could scarcely talk, too young to
realize what had happened, told the story
of the fire. She said she was playing about
the bed, and, having found some matches,
struck one near the bed which caught fire.
when she became frightened and ran out of
the house-Arkansas City Republican.
